How does the Open Meeting Act apply to meetings undertaken through teleconference?
If the Energy Commission chooses to conduct a meeting by teleconference, the Open Meeting Act requires agendas to be posted at all teleconference locations and all teleconference meetings be conducted in a manner that protects the rights of any party or member of the public appearing before the Commission. Each teleconference location must be identified in the notice and agenda of the meeting and each location must be accessible to the public. Members of the public have the opportunity to address the Commission at each teleconference location. At least one Commissioner must be physically present at the location specified in the notice.
